Do-everything outfielder Brandon Thomas has racked up statistics, awards and honors in his three seasons on the Flats. Heading into his senior season with the Yellow Jackets, he’s looking to help the team to a successful campaign.
Why did you come to Tech?
It offered the best combination of a great baseball program and strong academics. I also grew up in Atlanta and have gone to GT baseball games my whole life. It’s been great having my family in town at the games.
What’s your favorite memory from your time with the Yellow Jackets?
Winning the ACC Championship last year. Not many people expected us to do much, so it was a great feeling when we upset some of the better teams in the country.
What hobbies do you have outside of baseball?
I like hanging out with family and friends, attempting to play guitar and watching movies.
Who’s the toughest pitcher you’ve faced?
It’s a toss-up: Matt Harvey from North Carolina or Danny Hultzen from Virginia. Harvey is in the big leagues with the New York Mets, and Hultzen is close to the big leagues with the Seattle Mariners.
What’s your favorite movie?
The Town.
What are your plans after college?
I plan on playing baseball professionally. After my playing career is over, I would like to somehow combine what I have learned in the business school with my experiences in baseball.
